TARC Spring Classic
The Trail Animals Running Club hosts the TARC Spring Classic at Jericho Town Forest in Weston, Massachusetts. The event offers multiple trail distances run on a repeated loop that was built as a bespoke 10K and adjusted for longer events. The course is described as relatively flat and smooth and is marked with flagging and signs at major intersections. The start and finish are located at 292 Concord Road, Weston, Massachusetts, 02493.
Distances:
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- 50K
There is a single aid station at the start/finish of each 10K loop. This is a cupless race so participants must carry their own hydration system. The aid station serves vegan friendly items including hydration products, water, fruit, dried fruit, assorted snack bars and cookies, candy, chips, sandwiches, vegan quesadillas, and pickles. Course maps, a GPX file, and marked signage are provided; runners who go off course must backtrack and may not receive an official finish time if the course is not followed.
Parking is in the grassy field at the start/finish and carpooling is recommended. Pacers are not allowed and crew access is limited to the start/finish area. The event follows Leave No Trace principles. Registration is limited, online only, and the entry fee is $25 for most distances with discounted youth entries available through the Youth Trail program. The event enforces strict cutoffs and operates with volunteers and course sweepers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
